VERSE
A
I know a man, he's a powerful man
       D                           A
He's got the people in his power in the palm of his hand.
A
He started at the bottom and he worked his way up
          D                   A
Now he's never going to stop Until he reaches the top.

CHORUS
A         D       A    D
It's the same old story, it's the same old dream,
    C                            A
It's power man, power man, and all that it can bring.

VERSE
A
If you want your money, you better stand in the line
       D                      A
'Cos you'll only end up picking up nickels and dimes.
A
You call him names and he sits and grins
   D                    A
'Cos everybody else is just a sucker to him.

PRE-CHORUS
A        D   A         D   A
And he's got my money, but I've got my faith
D                         A
And powerman, powerman, I'll never be your slave.

CHORUS
A         D    A        D
It's the same old story, it's the same old game
A
It's power man, power man, driving me insane

BRIDGE
C                  D
People tried to conquer the world Napoleon and Genghis Khan
F             C
Hitler tried and Mussolini too
C               D
Powerman don't need to fight, powerman don't need no guns

Powerman got money on his side


VERSE
A
Well I'm not rich and I'm not free

    D                A
But I've got my girl and I'm alright
